Each student will have the opportunity to engrave a “star” cut into a pre-beveled piece of glass in the same manner as Waterford Crystal is cut. The students will be taught the correct way to design, hold, and engrave the glass bevel. They will learn the art required to hold the glass to the wheel along with the correct pressure for creating beautiful cut patterns in the glass.

Glass Painting

The age-old art of glass painting – the same as stained glass church window makers of the middle-ages will be taught. Each student will learn the tracing technique of high fire painting, the middle fire enamel technique and will be shown the lower fire silver staining method. These glass painting procedures are taught exclusively by the staff of Holy City Art Glass – considered some of the finest painters on the West Coast.

Kiln-Formed Glass

Make your own kiln-formed glass "objects d' art" using glass frits, powder and hand cut pieces of glass. All of this will be melted in a selected form by each student using techniques exclusively developed by Holy City Art Glass. This is our most popular segment.

Summary

You will leave having created three (3) separate pieces of glass art. Brilliant-Cut Bevel, Hand-Painted piece of glass, and a beautiful glass tile. You will have also learned each one of these above techniques by some of the foremost glass artists in the world.
